My 2015 Nismo: 0-60 in 6.8 Switch it to AWD (or AWD-V), nix the AC, Sport mode, Trac off, and rev it up as far as it'll go. Put it in manual gear control, and let the CVT do the shifting at the last possible moment.
I now own this car, and I gotta say... It's a frigin fun little car. I have that exact car and I could not be happier with it. It's sooo light and the steering is so direct and on point. Sport Mode makes you feels like you are driving a beast the weight of a feather. This is probably the most fun you will have in a 200HP sports suv :)
It's not that light lmao? It's unimpressively 3k pounds or over for the most part, and the transmission cvt is god AWFUL and shit. It's still just damn slow and sport mode doesn't make it a beast or weight of a feather it also doesn't have 200 horse and isn't an SUV. Your are a dumbass
Something you guys should do is a merging test. Go on a highway and see how well the vehicles perform a kickdown and fast they get from 45 to 65 mph. Personally I never found a real use to 0-60 times, I never have to floor it from a standstill to 60. I think a car that can merge with confidence sounds more applicable to me. If I remember correctly the old Saab Turbo merged more quickly than a 911 Porsche.
It also will only rev up so far when holding the brake, nissan's ECU's limit around 10% throttle when break applied to avoid toyota's "moving forward, even when you don't want to" issue.
I purchased a non nismo just the other day and I have to say im reasonably impressed. I would like to see a little more power but what it has is very adequate. If you want a muscle car don't buy it. If you want a zippy little 4 door that rides higher than a car, looks like a two door, and gets 30 to 35 miles a gallon I think youll be hard pressed to find a better vehicle.
UpRev Tune completely changes the car. Increasing the factory boost of 11.75lbs to 20lbs. My manual trans Juke with a Stillen axle back put down 203hp and 262tq to the wheels. It is an absolute blast to drive.
I love Nissans, but I wish they'd get over their love affair with the CVT, or at least offer a manual with more than just the base models. I'm really hoping that they decide to build the Sentra NISMO. I'd buy that in a heartbeat!
I am in my second week of owning the Nismo and it is a great car. I traded in my 2012 v6 Mustang automatic to get it and it has the same off the line performance but way better handling. Also not sure why the CVT gets so much hate. It is definitely better that the archaic Mustang auto transmission.
Nissan will bring out an RS version, Will i still be able to buy the normal NISMO version when the RS version hits the market? or will it dissapear ? Greetz!
vaughn gittin JR disagrees with you. you think a beam-axle rear end is any better than a solid axle? look at car and drivers lightning lap the v6 mustang was serveral seconds faster than the focus ST on a very technical track. the fiesta ST will be either slower than the fiat 500 abarth or slightly faster.
Hello guys! How come you did not fly to Toronto and test drive the exceptional new Merc's flagship, the S-class? It would have been interesting to see what any of you had to say about the "best car in the world". Or did you go there and will come up with a video? Keep it up!
Thanks for the comment. Perhaps your daughter also knows what happens to horsepower at high altitude and how this effects 0-60 MPH times. You might want to ask her as obviously you don't know.
Thing about this suv is because it looks very modern and sporty but the best part about this SUV and the smartest thing they did comes with the potential it has, for example i wish i could get the R version but i cant so i can take this same model, chip it, CAI exhaust, wider rims etc and have a very fast suv that can be taken to the track!! ;) (its just cool now, but it can be fast with few mods)
I have a regular juke with awd and the 1.6 turbo and mine works a lot better that this. I think they tried using manual mode which is basically useless. In drive with sport mode on, my juke revs up to 6k very quickly and gets to 60 much faster than 9 or 10 seconds.
Nissan had a good thing with their Sentra SE-R Spec V. I had an 07, and while it could have used some traction control (torque heavy, spun the wheels in the rain from a red light without trying), it was quick, looked decent, and was economical (especially compared to the Juke Nismo). If only they hadn't killed the Sentra by making it even cheaper looking...
The CVT isn't a bad thing, why does everyone give the CVT shit? The CVT transmission from nissan is brilliant. Some CVT's are shit when there isn't a lot of thought put toward making them perform properly.
Yup but see the chriss harris on cars review of Focus ST vs Megane vs Astra VXR also I have driven ST and Stang and i felt realy confident in the ST while the stang was too touchy, little bit more power will result in unwanted wheel spin and fish tailing, ST is way more contollable, well insulated cabin, nice and sporty interiors and has better ride quality than Stang, much better daily driver and 4seater car,beam end axle is controlled by beter ESC and ESP in ST
I bought my Juke SV FWD earlier this year. I wish I knew about the Nismo before. I like it because its a different look from every other car out there. It has its ups and downs but overall it works for me.
i like the juke my mom has one its a lot of fun small and compact never have trouble when traffic is bad and has good visibility from the front even passed 22 cars one time by going off road using all wheel drive. you can never park this car bad you always have lots of space all around even if the guy next to you parks bad. needs more horse power tho, this new version is a joke as far as engine improvement.
Then I don't like it anymore, did some research and found out the AWD Jukes don't come in manual trans only the FWD ones. For me that's a load of bull.
HAHA! this is hilarious. almost as if they're trying to put a fake image on the juke. My dad has a 2013 Juke and ours is fat af. Way faster than what they're showing.
Oh lordy you are clever. You took what he said and turned it against him. My god that was funny! My sides are hurting. I hope you use that sharp wit on me.
False. This is a super mini dressed like a crossover. Without a doubt, one of the weirdest and the most controversial cars I have ever seen. It's a great car for the city though.
I like the Look of it.. I think The New Civics Look Bad.. The new Elantra N looks like crap too.. The manuals can be tuned to 300 WHP.. My AWD SL is Tuned to 246WT and 242WHP. And Honestly the WRX is twice the money out the door.
yup I too agree with that, the reason why i commented is that Ford Europe is under heavy depresion and Th European products just elevated Ford which wasjust an average brand in their parent country to something thats far more exiting, I love Ford Europe and Hate Ford AMerica but I have been waitin 4 the US,Europe,ASIA,Australia allianz of Ford and that happened and the results are miles better than what i expected, its true AMericans kno nothing(not offensive)
These guys don't like the car and their review let it show from the onset. Also, they don't really understand how to drive with the CVT. Which is fine because really, the car and the CVT are not for everyone.
That was a god awful review these guys are a joke.
where is sport mode? dont do test on eco mode:)
My 2015 Nismo: 0-60 in 6.8
Switch it to AWD (or AWD-V), nix the AC, Sport mode, Trac off, and rev it up as far as it'll go. Put it in manual gear control, and let the CVT do the shifting at the last possible moment.
My 2013 juke will def hit 60 faster than his juke lol my lil juke will shit and git!!
you guys do the worst reviews. sorry, but it is true...
Agree
I now own this car, and I gotta say... It's a frigin fun little car. I have that exact car and I could not be happier with it. It's sooo light and the steering is so direct and on point. Sport Mode makes you feels like you are driving a beast the weight of a feather. This is probably the most fun you will have in a 200HP sports suv :)
Valeria Perrett What about the awful CVT??
It's not that light lmao? It's unimpressively 3k pounds or over for the most part, and the transmission cvt is god AWFUL and shit. It's still just damn slow and sport mode doesn't make it a beast or weight of a feather it also doesn't have 200 horse and isn't an SUV. Your are a dumbass
It's a comfort rally car for the winter
@@buildmorefarms1007 then get the manual if its available in US
I don't understand that test! Mine do 0-60 in 7 sec! and goes very very faster in high rpm level! Were you in eco mode?
+Emilien Terrot You have the Nismo RS.
+masterwhopper414 no i have the first version the nismo one... and i think his cvt on the vidéo has a huge problem...
CVT is always going to be slower, and the AWD system is always going to be heavier...so yeah
+Emilien Terrot It is likely the sea level that they are at. I have the 2013 nismo in Louisiana and mine is around 7sec with the cvt as well.
The testing in normal mode 😒
Other people do it in 7 seconds,you guys are bad drivers.
So because it has a turbo, your comparing it to a Subaru wrx.....how so?
Something you guys should do is a merging test. Go on a highway and see how well the vehicles perform a kickdown and fast they get from 45 to 65 mph. Personally I never found a real use to 0-60 times, I never have to floor it from a standstill to 60. I think a car that can merge with confidence sounds more applicable to me. If I remember correctly the old Saab Turbo merged more quickly than a 911 Porsche.
Andre is back!
It also will only rev up so far when holding the brake, nissan's ECU's limit around 10% throttle when break applied to avoid toyota's "moving forward, even when you don't want to" issue.

How could we see that you were in Sport Mode at measuring?
I love Nissans, but I wish they'd get over their love affair with the CVT, or at least offer a manual with more than just the base models. I'm really hoping that they decide to build the Sentra NISMO. I'd buy that in a heartbeat!
Well they now have. Are you going to buy it?
"...we're not smart enough..." - true that!
Roman -- what team are you wearing with that polo you're wearing?
I am in my second week of owning the Nismo and it is a great car. I traded in my 2012 v6 Mustang automatic to get it and it has the same off the line performance but way better handling. Also not sure why the CVT gets so much hate. It is definitely better that the archaic Mustang auto transmission.
CVT's get hate because they suck and all they do is whine.
Thank you!!!! I asked you to review it dew weeks ago you are awesome!
How many car manufacturers use the exact same rear break light design famous from Volvo?
Nissan will bring out an RS version, Will i still be able to buy the normal NISMO version when the RS version hits the market? or will it dissapear ?
Greetz!
You need to use the manual shifting mod, take it to redline each gear you will get to 60 much faster. That is the correct way to test it
is the prius faster?
did he REALLY just do that.. 4:57
How can you do a speed review in an automatic? Surely the manuals would be better
manual has no awd
vaughn gittin JR disagrees with you. you think a beam-axle rear end is any better than a solid axle? look at car and drivers lightning lap the v6 mustang was serveral seconds faster than the focus ST on a very technical track. the fiesta ST will be either slower than the fiat 500 abarth or slightly faster.
i laughed at the fail handbrake turn at the beginning
"It's like the bosom" *motorboat* Best line ever.
did you test it in eco normal or sport?
Eco mode
i like the looks of it. seems like a great car
why not do a match up with mazdaspeed3?
Sure, what place(s) do you have in mind?
Hello guys! How come you did not fly to Toronto and test drive the exceptional new Merc's flagship, the S-class? It would have been interesting to see what any of you had to say about the "best car in the world". Or did you go there and will come up with a video? Keep it up!
Thanks for the comment. Perhaps your daughter also knows what happens to horsepower at high altitude and how this effects 0-60 MPH times. You might want to ask her as obviously you don't know.
Is that a good thing
and a rear 6 speed or dual clutch
Thing about this suv is because it looks very modern and sporty but the best part about this SUV and the smartest thing they did comes with the potential it has, for example i wish i could get the R version but i cant so i can take this same model, chip it, CAI exhaust, wider rims etc and have a very fast suv that can be taken to the track!! ;) (its just cool now, but it can be fast with few mods)

i understand, hesitated about it for a second, but it is after all a sport utility vehicle and it could off-road a bit
Nathan definatlly got the better end of that deal!
I think its a great AWD economy car, that's why I was iffy about "Rent it" or "Lease it."
I love that exhaust note
I;m really close to pulling the trigger on a 2017 nismo RS with 25k miles.
Nissan had a good thing with their Sentra SE-R Spec V. I had an 07, and while it could have used some traction control (torque heavy, spun the wheels in the rain from a red light without trying), it was quick, looked decent, and was economical (especially compared to the Juke Nismo). If only they hadn't killed the Sentra by making it even cheaper looking...
The slowest I have gotten is about 7.3 but most of it is error on my part when shifting.
These guys cant drive lmfao what a joke! Manual trans is WAYYYY faster in ours 6.43 seconds 15 .164 1/4 all stock
They said the Nismo version was the best? Negative on you last ghost rider!! The Juke R is by far the best- although the 400k price tag is rediculous!
best line: "awh, dont even act like you are deciding", nice one nathan! and thank you all for the good work!
Why didn't it shift, sounded like he wasnt't even trying to accelerate as much
The CVT isn't a bad thing, why does everyone give the CVT shit? The CVT transmission from nissan is brilliant. Some CVT's are shit when there isn't a lot of thought put toward making them perform properly.
Love the roethlisberger jersey
Wait.... CVT?!
I don't like the red accents on the mirrors, it reminds me of a mini cooper. Otherwise seems nice for city and summer driving.
I don't know why white folks hate juke looking, I love my juke, and I see a lot of jukes in my Chinese neighborhood
Wtf.. U r testing the juke in normal mode 😒, that y u got 9s, mine is going in 7s
It goes 0-60 in 6.7 seconds
Yup but see the chriss harris on cars review of Focus ST vs Megane vs Astra VXR also I have driven ST and Stang and i felt realy confident in the ST while the stang was too touchy, little bit more power will result in unwanted wheel spin and fish tailing, ST is way more contollable, well insulated cabin, nice and sporty interiors and has better ride quality than Stang, much better daily driver and 4seater car,beam end axle is controlled by beter ESC and ESP in ST
the juke is awesome!
Said nobody ever
its like a poor man's porsche cayenne turbo or range rover sport... i like this nismo
So funny at the end, but still interesting if u guys think the Golf R is worth the money over the Ford.
I bought my Juke SV FWD earlier this year. I wish I knew about the Nismo before. I like it because its a different look from every other car out there. It has its ups and downs but overall it works for me.
i like the juke my mom has one its a lot of fun small and compact never have trouble when traffic is bad and has good visibility from the front even passed 22 cars one time by going off road using all wheel drive. you can never park this car bad you always have lots of space all around even if the guy next to you parks bad. needs more horse power tho, this new version is a joke as far as engine improvement.
I heard CVT and I ran outta here jeje...
why not manual? at least it would be fun to drive..
THIS CAR DESERVES THE V6, wait TWIN TWIN TURBO 3.5L V6!!
high altitude effects the power of the car. thinner air
In the end the Subie WRX is an Impreza.
Why would you even think about a review of the CVT? Like what the hell get the 6MT or don't bother
Then I don't like it anymore, did some research and found out the AWD Jukes don't come in manual trans only the FWD ones. For me that's a load of bull.
I have no clue how they are paid to do this anymore... I have a 2015 SV AWD, 0-60 in 6.3 at 1,000 above sea level
9.16- 9.98 zero to sixty......Wow.
the juke should have a launch control cause is terribly slow with the CVT.
the awd only has cvt
"These guys are too funny, LMBO"!!!!!
HAHA! this is hilarious. almost as if they're trying to put a fake image on the juke. My dad has a 2013 Juke and ours is fat af. Way faster than what they're showing.
They're miles above sea level so all cars are much slower there. It's a lot faster if you test it somewhere else.
cj nyberg Totally agree. I have a 13 nismo 6sp manual and its on the verge of scary
I love the juke nismo
The CVT makes this car look so bad but the 6 speed really makes a huge difference, taking off around 3 seconds from 0-60
I love this juke
The designers wanted it to be a alligator.
I need this car
Oh lordy you are clever. You took what he said and turned it against him. My god that was funny! My sides are hurting. I hope you use that sharp wit on me.
You know, I can't stand this car, but my gf loves the juke (she also wants a Gremlin, go figure) so I'm not gonna argue haha
It also doesn't cost $750,000. Apples to oranges.
Thats so unexpectedly Jukish of you :)
False. This is a super mini dressed like a crossover. Without a doubt, one of the weirdest and the most controversial cars I have ever seen. It's a great car for the city though.
I like the Look of it.. I think The New Civics Look Bad.. The new Elantra N looks like crap too.. The manuals can be tuned to 300 WHP.. My AWD SL is Tuned to 246WT and 242WHP. And Honestly the WRX is twice the money out the door.
I think America is too conservative about design, stop labeling "ugly" to new approaches
yup I too agree with that, the reason why i commented is that Ford Europe is under heavy depresion and Th European products just elevated Ford which wasjust an average brand in their parent country to something thats far more exiting, I love Ford Europe and Hate Ford AMerica but I have been waitin 4 the US,Europe,ASIA,Australia allianz of Ford and that happened and the results are miles better than what i expected, its true AMericans kno nothing(not offensive)
Yeah, because the CVT is the only option for AWD versions.
They are completely different cars. No one is going to cross shop a Juke with a NSX.
you can get a v6 mustang for cheaper than both the fiesta st and the focus st. ford's biggest enemy is itself.
Why do you always test your cars 1 mile above sea level.
These guys don't like the car and their review let it show from the onset.
Also, they don't really understand how to drive with the CVT. Which is fine because really, the car and the CVT are not for everyone.
Nice steelers jersey!!!!!
Any chance of you guys getting a 6MT version to test against it? I feel like it is probably a good bit quicker.
I don't understand how these 2 have a Jobs
Thumbs up for russian guy! Россия вперед!!!
I see so many soccer moms driving these in the suburbs
Juke R is bad ass
CVT transmissions don't shift. Continuously Variable Transmission. Think of a scooter.
Talk talk talk ... jealous juke still does that to haters
Please try the KIA PRO CEED GT :D
